Forecasts

Arantes Nascimento (5/4), Blenheim Star (3/1), Showmethewayhome (11/2), African Spirit (13/2), Ribble River (7/1), Old Bailey (8/1), Rising Rhoesa (14/1), Red Hatter (125/1), Haildor (200/1)

BLENHEIM STAR stuck to her task pleasingly when fourth starting out at Lingfield a month ago and with the promise of lots more to come, this looks a good opening. Arantes Nascimento is probably the main threat unless there's support for a newcomer, notably Ribble River.
